Richie its a 2 not an N. Its a Proof Stamp. In this position it normally is for Field Test but not sure if the 2 is a reference to where it was tested or just that it was the second test. Anyone know? There should also have been a Proof Stamp according to my UC-F1 Manual before the month numeral but it doesn't seem to be on mine. But what is interesting is the end Proof Stamp in the Manual example shows a Proof Stamp arrow with a C over it. Canada?

Must go and wrap some presents and put out the milk and pies. Can you boys south of the line let me know when the great man lands on your roof!

Merry Christmas from a white cold snowy beautiful Scotland

The only example of universal "Bren" carrier in Greece, is a remarcably preserved machine owned by the Korean veteran Kostandinos Faros, who gave me the numbers:

Number: T249393
Engine Ford 18633130

You are right. The Greek Army had the mk I, ex british machines. The photo was taken at a base camp at North Africa.

No, Lynn, the sign depicts the head of Athena... (Minerva) the sign of the greek mechanised divisions that period. Today has changed slightly
